The cover story of the most recent edition of New York magazine is entitled “Could the Girls of Camp Mystic Have Been Saved?” and aside from being utterly heartbreaking, it presents (IMO) a damning picture of the camp’s owners, their hubris. and their greed...

Kittleson speaking on her experiences: Dealing With Danger as a Freelancer in Syria

My money’s on succinylcholine, the paralytic qualities of which I am only aware after listening to waaay too many episodes of Forensic Files. MOO, but I gather that it’s a pretty commonplace drug (for doctors, at least—not amongst laypeople!), which might make it relatively easy for a medical...

Holy smokes, is the defense seriously trying to say that the minute, insignificant differences between Arielle's on-the-stand statement and her previous statements show that her recollections are "inconsistent" (I think he means "deceptive")?! This reeks of desperation.

Yes, the next event in the Pittsylvania County Circuit Court records is a “Review” scheduled for 4/27/26. I imagine they will assess his competency (or continued lack thereof) at that meeting/hearing.

The missing man’s name is Alan, not Allen.

A few pages back there was a reference to a “happy birthday to my mom”-type social media post made by Savannah G. on, I believe, January 27th 2021 or 2022. EDITED TO ADD LINK BELOW TO THE POST, WHICH WAS FROM 2020. am guessing that the late-ish family dinner after which NG was harmed might have...

Why do you “think LE and the family do not want to be asked why an 84 yr old woman who is physically disabled was in her home alone”?

@DonAntonio I am wondering where it has been reported that his biological parents gave him up for adoption—I haven’t seen that claim made in any mainstream news sources yet. For all we know, he could’ve been adopted from an orphanage.

The last event I see for this case/this defendant in the Pittsylvania County circuit court records is from 11/17/25 and appears to just be an “order” for “treatment (of) incompetent defendant.” I imagine there may be another evaluation of MB in the future to see if his competency has been...

By reason of insanity.

Good lord, ‘lying in wait”? Coupled with the information that Melodee was killed by gunshots to her head, this murder sounds worse to me by the second. I can’t even envision how, apart from some sick game of hide and seek where an unsuspecting child “finds” their parent hiding somewhere and is...

This is an excellent retrospective essay, but the quote from Romy where she describes Nick as her “best friend” is absolutely gutting, thinking about the horrific images and emotional trauma she will likely always carry with her, thanks to the actions of that man.

If I understand the timeline correctly, the confrontation occurred at the O’Brien party on Saturday night with the Reiners departing after/as a result of Nick R. making a scene. I imagine upon returning home, one or both parties might’ve opted to “cool off” alone in their home rather than...

NOT trying to make this political AT ALL, but along these lines, might she have seen someone she feared was an ICE agent and unthinkingly fled to the first place she could hide, not realizing that it (maybe) didn’t have an internal mechanism for unlocking the freezer door?
